Natural Wood Siding in Johnstown, CO — Installed by Specialists Who Understand the Material

Name: Forge Siding
Telephone: +1-844-782-0929
Price range: $$

Real wood siding — cedar bevel, redwood shingles, pine channel, or Shou Sugi Ban charred finish — delivers an aesthetic that no composite product fully replicates. It's also the most installation-sensitive cladding type: wood moves with moisture content, and a crew that installs it like vinyl will produce a buckled, peeling disaster within two seasons. Our Johnstown, CO wood siding specialists understand species-specific moisture behavior, field-prime every cut edge, and account for seasonal movement in every fastener and joint decision.

Cedar Bevel & Clapboard Siding

Western red cedar bevel siding in custom-milled widths from 4" to 12". Each board is back-primed before installation, nailed with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails at the correct position relative to the top edge of the course below, and left with 1/8" expansion space at all butt joints.

Cedar Shingle & Shake Siding

Hand-split or sawn cedar shingles on wall surfaces require a different nailing pattern and exposure depth than horizontal board siding. We apply self-adhesive water-resistive membrane at every course break for high-moisture Johnstown, CO exposures.

Engineered Wood Siding (LP SmartSide & Similar)

Engineered wood strand composite panels offer wood's appearance with significantly better dimensional stability and moisture resistance. Field cuts require sealing with the manufacturer's specified caulk or primer — we treat them the same as real wood end-grain.

Wood Siding Refinishing & Preservation

Existing wood siding that is structurally sound but failing in finish can often be saved with proper power washing, sanding, end-grain sealing, and a high-quality exterior finish system — at a fraction of replacement cost.

Historic & Custom Profile Matching

We work with custom millwork suppliers to match discontinued or historic clapboard profiles on restoration projects — critical for homes in Johnstown, CO historic districts where replacement cladding must match the original material identically.

Our Process

The Forge Siding Wood Siding Workflow

Our Johnstown, CO team follows the same documented process on every project — so you know what to expect at every stage.

Species & Finish Consultation

We discuss your aesthetic goals, review moisture exposure on each wall elevation, and recommend the right species and finish system for your specific Johnstown, CO microclimate and sun exposure.

Moisture Content Check & Acclimation

Delivered lumber is checked with a pin-type moisture meter before installation. Material is stacked with stickers for airflow and acclimated on-site before being cut and installed — critical for dimensional stability.

Back-Priming, Installation & Fastening

All back faces and field cuts are primed before panels go on the wall. Installation proceeds with correct nailing position, expansion spacing, and stagger pattern to manage wood movement and drainage.

Finish Coat & Final Inspection

Two finish coats of a quality exterior system (primer plus topcoat or two topcoats over field-applied primer) are applied after installation. End-grain joints are caulked with high-movement paintable sealant.

Customer Reviews

Forge Siding Wood Siding — Verified Johnstown, CO Customer Feedback

★★★★★

The moisture meter check on delivery was something I'd never seen a siding crew do before. They rejected two bundles that read too high and waited for replacement material. That's the kind of discipline that determines long-term performance.

O. Henrikson

Johnstown, CO homeowner

★★★★★

The custom profile matching was impressive — the new material is indistinguishable from the original sections we retained. Exactly what a historic restoration project requires.

D. & M. Ashworth

Johnstown Historic District

★★★★★

The crew understood wood's movement characteristics at every step. Expansion gaps at the right dimensions, correct nailing position, end-grain sealed everywhere it was exposed. Real expertise.

L. Bergqvist

Johnstown, CO

★★★★★

The diagnosis was correct and the fix was permanent. No other contractor we consulted identified the back-priming issue as the root cause.

FAQ

Answers to Your Wood Siding Questions in Johnstown, CO

Western red cedar is the standard choice for Johnstown, CO because of its natural preservative oils, dimensional stability relative to other domestic species, and paint adhesion characteristics. Redwood offers similar properties at a higher price point. Engineered wood strand composites (LP SmartSide) outperform both for moisture resistance at the cost of real wood character.

The repainting interval is the main consideration. If low-maintenance is a priority, we recommend fiber cement with factory-applied finish. If the look of real wood is non-negotiable for your Johnstown, CO home, we design the installation to extend the maintenance interval as long as possible: back-priming, end-grain sealing, and correct exposure to allow drainage.

The most common failure we repair on previously installed wood siding in Johnstown, CO is paint failure caused by unpainted back faces. Moisture enters through the raw wood back, migrates through the board, and pushes the front paint off from behind. Back-priming before installation is the single most important step in wood siding longevity.

For most historic clapboard and channel profiles, yes — we work with custom millwork operations that can match any profile from a physical sample or measured drawing. For CO homes in registered historic districts, we verify material specs against any applicable preservation guidelines before ordering custom material.

Properly installed, maintained, and finished cedar siding can last 40–60 years on a Johnstown, CO home. The service life depends heavily on finish maintenance interval, the quality of the installation (especially back-priming and end-grain sealing), and the sun and moisture exposure on each elevation. South and west walls in CO typically need repainting 20–30% more often than north walls.

Absolutely. Wood siding on new construction in Johnstown, CO requires coordination with the framing schedule — the building should be dried in (sheathing, housewrap, windows) before wood delivery so material can be stored under cover on-site. We work directly with your GC on new construction projects to hit the siding window in the construction schedule without sitting on material too long.
